Loading Windows 2003 Server (W2k3) operating system is the same as loading similar Windows operating systems (OS's). Restart your system with the

W2k3 cd loading into the cd drive. On most systems it will automatically ask you if you would like to boot to CD.

*But if in your case it does not allow this. Boot into the system bios and set the boot up configurations to cd (ide drive) as your primary boot drive.*

Once you boot to the CD it will automatically start to load the files it needs to install the new OS. Do not turn your machine off during this process.

After this process you will be greeted with a "Welcome to Setup" area.

I am not trying to write a security tutorial, I am trying to write a windows 2003 installation tutorial. It is part one in a long series. I am then going to compile them into a PDF format with screen shots. However since I received negative feedback I will just wait until I write all 6 tutorials with the screenshots then post.

I am very dissappointed, I spent time writing this and was excited to be able to share some knowledge with the AO community (maybe getting some dumb questions answered quicker) but it obviously seems that because I am not LEET enough I am not suppose to. So whatever I will post the tutorial when it is finished.

I hear you on the formatting issue, but I will be building each tutorial into a PDF format (with screen shots) at the end. So I will redeem myself on the formatting.

No PDF will Not redeem you from Doing the Formatting........Yes you can Attach the PDF but.. ..also do not Forget to Make the Actual Post Presentable......it dosen't take much time.......I would like to make a few Recommendations here

Always Type the Tutorial in other Text Editor First ...Like Word, Notepad..etc..read it at least Twice....and look for areas where more explanations is required

Make Sections and Sub Sections in it...and each having Proper Headings that Describes tha section....There aren't any in yours it just goes and on....

Then Copy it Line by Line or paragraph by paragraph and than Format it........then go on copy paste the next section.....

There are Various Formatting option Avalable here....

like you can make the Heading look like headings

Italics to emphasise something between sentences

or by Underline

If you want to show multiple Choices you can do it with

First

Second

Third

and

First

Second

Third

These might seem very small things to bother about..But these things make average content look good and good content look Excelent......and in the case of Tutorial you have to make it look easy on the eyes....

You can attach the PDF also......But do not forget to make it Presentable as well ..Everybody was saying about this formatting it but nobody told what to change so i thought maybe i should post it ........
And can Sombody tell me how does this Spell Check Thing work ..i have clicked it at lest 5 times now and it's doing nothing ..am i missing something here

I've found notepad and wordpad don't copy and paste well into AO... But Microsoft Word works like a charm. When I write it in Word, I also add all the tags ([b], [url], etc) so all I have to do is paste into the box, preview it, fix it, then post it.
